CD 2, Track 5
Music: Ruperto Chapí
Text: José Estremera
Al pensar en el dueño de mis amores
siento yo unos mareos encantadores.
Bendito sea
aquel picaronazo que me marea.
A mi novio yo le quiero
porque roba corazones
con su gracia y su salero,
salero, salero,
porque roba corazones
con su gracia y su salero,
El me tiene muy ufana
porque hay muchas que le quieren
y se quedan con las ganas.
Caprichosa yo nací
y le quiero solamente,
solamente para mí, ¡ay!
Que quitarme a mí su amor
es lo mismo que quitarle
las hojitas a una flor, ¡ay!
When I think on the master of my love
I feel lightheaded with delight.
Blessed be
that great rascal that sends me swooning,
My betrothed I love
because he steals hearts
with his charm and winning ways,
his winning, winning ways.
Because he steals hearts
with his charm and winning ways.
He makes me very proud,
for many there are who love him
and are left with their desires;
capricious was I born
and I want him only,
only for me, alas.
To take away from me his love
is like taking
the petals from a flower, alas.
*Carceleras has no translation: it is a Flamenco song-form, so called because it was allegedly developed by prisoners in Ronda.
